Having started working on this idea in 2012, it is a real thrill to finally see our own version of Benny's life brought to the stage with this wonderful & talented ensemble cast and all of the hard work has paid off as we launched into our tour with the premiere in the beautiful Ayr Gaeity Theatre on Saturday. With the script by Davie Carswell, Stage Manager Kat Siebert and our ASM Andy, we had
the most amazing opening night, culminating in a full house and a much-deserved standing ovation!! A dream start to this tour and please check out our website for venue & ticket details for the remaining 8 venues here thebennylynchstory.co.uk
We are hoping to raise more funds through future tours to help restore Cathkin Park and support the Statue For Benny Appeal and were honoured to have members of the group with us at Ayr, including Steph Bradley who brought along Benny's own watch! Huge thanks to the Statue Group for these
photos and for their help & support in the writing and research process last year. We are back in Ayrshire this week again with another show at Kilmarnock Palace Theatre and hope to see you there! We have been inundated with stories, memories, tales & some amazing photographs of The Little King Of The Gorbals throughout the last 3 weeks and it is fitting that our company is named after the football ground in which he fought successfully on 5 occasions.
and Into Creative for a memorable day and for Jim & Kenny at the Jimmy Johnstone Academy for their hospitality once again in the Pavilion. We will be returning to the ground later next month to continue the terracing work and will post more updates on this tour and upcoming productions in the weeks and months ahead.
